Campagnolo 9 Speed Compatibility
hello,
I recently broke my rear derailleur off my cross bike. I had been running Daytona 9 speed on it, the older version I believe with the b-tension screw in the regular place and not on the upper part of the cage. I was looking at a newer xenon 9 speed derailleur, but am I correct in remembering that the daytona shifters wont work well with the newer 9 speed derailleur due to different cable pull?
thanks!!

Correct. The cable pull ratio is slightly different. What I don't know (haven't done that homework yet) is if Shiftmates are available in a version that translates between the two Campy pull ratios. Another method to use your old levers and the new ders is to swap out the index gear in the lever. Good luck finding the correct one, hens teeth. If you do let me know from where and I'll get a few more for my stable of bikes. Andy.
